Just as we reported last week, the lone 5G model of the global Redmi Note 10 family is coming to the Philippines. At the time, we didn’t have a date yet. But today, we finally know when the official announcement is going to be.

According to Xiaomi Philippines, the Redmi Note 10 5G will be launched in the country June 3, or the last day of the Xiaomi x PUBG Mobile #LiveForTheChallenge on TikTok.

Xiaomi announces Redmi Note 10 5G launch date for the Philippine market

The Redmi Note 10 5G should be a great option for consumers who are looking for a 5G-ready phone that’s easy on the wallet. Abroad, it is priced from $199, or roughly P9,579, after all.

Besides getting access to the fifth-generation mobile network courtesy of the unit’s MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G chip, users also have a device whose screen is big at 6.5 inches as it is smooth, thanks to the display’s 90Hz refresh rate.
